The knitting patterns are from a Dutch magazine called 'Vrouwenwereld'. It was provided by a Dutch Linen company called Swelheim. I think costumers got the magazine for free with their purchases, but I'm not sure about that.

I also have some pattern drafting books from the late 40s and the early 50s in my possession. They have some basic patterns like a circle skirt, but also some cute blouses and dresses which I love to share. The patterns contains instructions to draw the pattern to your own size. For the more complex patterns some pattern drafting experience is recommended.

From now on I will post every now and then one of these patterns. You can find them on this page. The patterns are in Dutch, but if you are interested I can try to translate it, please let me know! I'm planning to draft and sew some of these sewing patterns, so if you have questiones, don't hesistate to ask!
